Default what are these: pale yellow, look like green beans?

As others have posted, these are yellow or wax beans. In the summer, I love
to make a mixed bean salad with these, green beans, some kidney beans,
chopped onion and garlic, a little olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Plus
salt 'n pepper. If you like this type of salad sweet, add a little of an
artificial sweetener of your choice. Not very carby, especially if you keep
the proportion of kidney beans low, and very refreshing and pretty. I like
red onion with this, mostly for the appearance.

I had some veggies with my steak up at Carrows (the one at Western and
Westmont, between RPV and San Pedro, in case you're in the area). Green
beans, carrots, and yellow bean-things that looked like green beans but
they were a pale yellow. There weren't too many and they didn't seem carby,
so I ate a few. I'd like to find out what they are so that I can look them
up in the usda database. Thanks -- Mike
